Removing wax from metal sheet pans.

On sep 2 2016 for metal or glass i put about 10 newspaper pages on an oven rack put the containers upside down on it and turn the oven on low 140 150 as the wax melts it is absorbed by the paper then just throw the paper away and wash them. Plastic in the freezer then chip off with plastic spoon. Place several sheets of paper towels over the wax you want to lift off the wall. If you wish to discard the wax instead pour it into a paper cup or an empty non recyclable container such as a milk carton.

If this doesn t work allow the substance to cool and apply acetone to the stain to soften it again before scraping at it a second time. Spread the mixture all over the pan making sure to get into the corners. To reuse the wax later just tear the paper away and place the wax chunks back in the melting pot. Move it around every few minutes to expose all sides to the chemicals.

Let sit for ten to twenty minutes then scrub the pan with the coarse side of a sponge. Apply medium heat with a blow dryer and wipe away excess wax as it softens. Warm your iron to the lowest setting and working in short intervals run the iron over the paper towels. The wax should transfer to the paper towels.

If it seems that gunk is still piled on repeat the coating waiting and scrubbing once more. Remove residue with a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3. If there s a similar coating around the edge of a stainless steel sauté pan boil a few cups of water with cup vinegar for a few minutes pour out and. You can also use a hair dryer wiping off the excess wax as it melts.

It should only take a few minutes. Hand wash with soap after to remove the baking soda and vinegar smell and taste. Once the wax hardens it may be discarded. Wash the area with hot soapy water to remove residue.

Vinegar isn t only for cleaning sheet pans. To remove wax from glass scrape away the excess then apply heat with a blow dryer set to medium wiping off the wax with a rag as it softens.
